Question 521414: I really need help with this question
what is the metric unit that would make this unit true
12,451 dL = 1,245.1

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given:
.
12,451 dL = 1,245.1
.
The units on the left side of this equality are deciliters. A deciliter is one-tenth of a liter.
.
Therefore, for every ten deciliters you get one liter. Or if you divide the number of deciliters by 10 you get an equivalent number of liters. Conversely, if you are given a number of liters, you multiply that number of liters by 10 to get the number of deciliters that it is equal to. Notice that in the given equality the right side is one-tenth of the left side. That being the case, the equality is:
.
12,451 dL = 1,245.1 L
.
where the L on the right side represents Liters.
.
Hope this helps you to understand what "deci" means. It means "one-tenth of". So a decimeter is one-tenth of a meter, a deciliter is one-tenth of a liter, and a decigram is one-tenth of a gram.
